Listening as a special skill of teaching English language - transcribing
Abstract
Listening is an important part of learning a language because the majority of your students want to communicate verbally. Helping your student to speak English is great, but will not help him or her in a conversation unless he or she can understand others. Throughout your class, you will be easing your students into the language by speaking slowly and giving them the chance to decode what you are saying. Once they go out into the world, they will have to comprehend what people are saying no matter how quickly they speak
